How do you make someone understand that being drafted by force and ordered to invade another country is not a good thing? (sh.itjust.works)

So if a country wrote conscription into their constitution it'd be fine?

[–] LodeMike@lemmy.today 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

No that's one of two ways its bad

So than what makes conscription too far? Would non military mandatory government service be permissible? How long would that duration need to be in order to be unacceptable?

[–] LodeMike@lemmy.today 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

No that would not be acceptable either. There's a massive difference between jury duty and military service. Theres frequency/amount, and the basic fact that jury duty is a domestic thing.

So would a one week domestic only draft be acceptable?
